Mason pulls rent control ordinance from Hoboken City Council agenda

Hoboken Now file photoThe Hoboken City Council will not discuss the much-anticipated rent control ordinance tonight so that the council sub-committee can meet again before presenting it for first reading.

"It could not continue tonight for a number of reasons," said Mason who also serves as chair of the council sub-committee on rent control and affordable housing. "Among them, our attorney is currently in California."

The sub-committee will meet on Monday, Jan. 24 at 6 p.m. to discuss the proposed changes for "one more hour," Mason said. Councilman-At-Large Ravi Bhalla and Fifth Ward Councilman Peter Cunningham also sit on the sub-committee.
